    This is a Muonionalusta meteorite, one of the oldest formed solids in our solar system! The unique Widmanstätten pattern makes this one of the most beautiful meteorites. In this video I'll be showing how I make a silver-lined 10mm wide ring.
    Showing this ring to new people really is amazing. Some people freak out completely when told this story and rightfully so. It's freaking 20 million years older than the earth! Thanks to lead-lead dating we can with great accuracy determine that this meteorite is at least 4 565 300 000 years old. It's just mind-bending.

    It seems like I hid the letters a bit too well 😅 The first one is at 1:13
    The "Q" at the end is not part of the 6 letters you need to find

      come back to youtube, we have cookies.

      Took me like 10 or 12 views to find them all, but definitely possible.

    • @djenter2
      @djenter2 Před 2 lety

      The one on 1:13 is the only one I found by my self, watched it 10 times already and can’t find rest of them I bet is something to do with your name or initials but I give up. I seen your video about your first ring ages ago this one seems very similar. I wish you made this 10 years ago when I was getting married. But I guess you were in to multi rotors (as we called drones) back then.

      If there is one in the first 9 minutes besides the first one time stamped above, I'm going to declare myself legally blind... 😅

    It might be interesting for you to know, that if you heat copper up to 1000-1050°C for a couple of hours you can grow copper crystals, which you can see after etching with 40% FeCl3 for a little over half an hour.
    But there are two problems:
    The melting temperature of copper is 1085°C.
    The crystals get a lot smaller when machining.

  • @MaxPowerCrafts
    @MaxPowerCrafts Před 2 lety +1

    I don't know how we ended up on a very similar path. but I went from flying model planes, to not having room to fly model planes, to making rings and jewelery and knives, and if you're also making knives and blacksmithing now... then I think that just means that model hobbies have a very clear trajectory to outer-space ring. (I mostly work with copper and silver, no space rocks yet) Very good stuff. Happy to see you on the feed!

    Oh, man! I saw "new video by David Windestal" and I was like: Wait... THE David Windestal? so long no see (talking tri-copter age in my case).
    What a great video and super production! About a minute before the end I thought to include a 'my precious' mention in my comment, but of course you beat me to it 😁
    Excellent content and wow!, those rings 🤩

  • @avelkm
    @avelkm Před 2 lety

    Amazing to see you turn to craft! I make pens for a living last 9 years and made a few rings over the years, for myself and my wife and few custom orders for friends. Tried bending a ring from thin meteorite slice - that's almost impossible, tiny internal cracks ruin it. Cudos for not drilling away cental piece like some people;) just maybe laser or waterjet it? You'd also have less shavings - more rings) That's what I'm planning to do when return to meteorite to update our wedding rings.

  • @PaddyMcMe
    @PaddyMcMe Před 2 lety

    There's something very charming about the idea of giving something older than the earth as a present to a loved one. As though it were just waiting all this time for you to give it to another. If you're willing indulge the concept of fate it feels particularly special.

  • @zaraak323i

  • @martijnvanderzon1521
    @martijnvanderzon1521 Před 2 lety

    Hi David, to fix the silver lining you may use a rounded and polished pusher while turning the ring on the lathe. It may get a better fit than by just sanding away the excess material. You do this on both sides and the lining will stay where it is even in variant temperatures.

    Nice to hear from you David! Totally awesome looking ring!!! Fascinating material to work with. But I gotta say that I watched this video two more times. And the only scattered letters I saw were the Q and maybe your website? But that’s too many letters. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Mind you! I was still getting distracted by the video and watching your craftsmanship in process. I hope you do a follow up video. Showing where these darned elusive winning letters are. Because I really want a chunk of that stuff! Or… could this be some sort of CZcams algorithm trick that kicks in when people re-watch a video 🤔
